Day 17 - Friday, June 24, 2011

10:15am - update - OFF the turf today. That will change races 5,7, and 9. So, big changes to come!

2:35pm-update-The pick 5 play has become: 1,3,7 with 2,4 with 4,5,6 with 2 with 5,7,8 for $27. The Place Pick 6, which has already become a loss because the first leg had a 55-1 and 5-1, was 1,4,5 with 1,5, with 1,7 with 2,4 with 5,6 with 2 for $24.

6:01pm-update-In the Pick 5, we were 3 out of 5 with 2 second place finishes. The Place Pick 6 produced 5 out of 6 with one exacta. Once again, so close, to the $512.20 payout.

Here are preliminary picks for Day 17 at Monmouth. Check back tomorrow for changes if the weather is wet. I have had a good week thus far, so I hope I can keep rolling. In the 50¢ Pick 5, there is an all top choice pick for $24 and one ticket that includes those horses and 3 back-ups for a total of $81.In the 50¢ Place Pick 6, where we are still ahead $124 for the meeting, the ticket is: 1,4,5 with 5, with 1,7 with 4,5 with 4,6 with 1,3,5. The cost is $36, which I have established has my maximum investment. I hope you had a chance to read my blog about "Putting the Sting on the Place Pick 6" on HorseRacingNation.com.
